To repair a canvas ceiling, first, identify the damaged area and clean it thoroughly. If there are holes or tears, use a patch of similar canvas material, applying a strong adhesive or fabric glue to secure it in place. For larger damages, consider sewing the edges together or using a canvas repair tape. Finally, ensure the repaired area is properly sealed to prevent moisture damage.

Below is a reply I cut an pasted from another site. The type of canas and glue were not specified, still thought it useful: Date: 7/15/2002 11:53:29 AM Subject: Re: Restoring a plaster ceiling covered in canvas Message: I recently worked on a brownstone restoration project in New York. It was a Victorian home that had similar problems, the plaster lath ceiling had deteriorated and started to fall away, due to water damage, and fell onto a stretched canvas that was over the ceiling. There were murals painted on the canvas so we wanted to restore the plaster, then reapply the canvas, then retouch and repaint the mural as needed. So the first thing to do is to repair the plaster ceiling. We first removed the canvas from the ceiling, some of which was reusable, some not, carefully marking each location so we could re-install it into its original place. The ceiling then had to be replastered. An actual restoration of original plaster can be complicated. You may want to secure sheets of drywall to your ceiling, basically making it new. To restore the plaster work, it was necessary to remove any loose areas, then by using epoxy resin injections, re-secure any loose or shifting plaster pieces. Using a syringe, we injected epoxy directly into loose plaster areas and into the wooden lath. Once this was done we applied layers of plaster, building up slowly until the surface was smooth and repaired to the specifications we desired. Then we carefully reapplied the canvas, not unlike applying specialty wallpapers. A good wallpaper professional, skilled in the application of antique wall coverings, or canvas backed papers, could do this. In our case, the canvas was applied directly to the ceiling. You mentioned that your canvas is suspended below the ceiling approx. 4 inches. This seems to be an unusual technique for that period, 1910 -1920. Be sure that the canvas just doesn't appear to be suspended (due to sagging or plaster fragments that dropped and stretched the canvas) and wasn't initially attached directly to the ceiling. If it truly is suspended then just pay careful attention to the method that the canvas was attached and try to duplicate it upon reinstallation. Try to re-hang as much of the original canvas in its original location
To effectively repair a water leak in your ceiling, first locate the source of the leak and fix it. Then, dry the area thoroughly and repair any damaged ceiling materials. Consider consulting a professional if needed.
To effectively repair a ceiling crack, you can start by cleaning the area, applying a joint compound or patching material, smoothing it out, and then painting over it to match the rest of the ceiling.
To repair a tear on an oil canvas painting do the repair from the back. Line up the threads in the tear and place a piece of fabric over top to hold in place. Cut a piece of canvas wider than the tear. Place a small amount of white craft glue on the back and place the sheet of canvas over the tear.

Common methods for ceiling repair include patching holes with drywall or plaster, fixing water damage by replacing damaged sections, smoothing out cracks with joint compound, and repainting the ceiling to match the surrounding area.
To fix a damaged ceiling, first identify the cause of the damage, such as water leakage or structural issues. Then, repair the underlying problem before patching up the ceiling with drywall, joint compound, and paint. If the damage is extensive, consider hiring a professional contractor for a more thorough repair.
To repair a drywall ceiling, start by removing any damaged areas and cutting a new piece of drywall to fit. Secure the new piece in place with screws, then apply joint compound to smooth out the seams. Sand the area once the compound is dry, then prime and paint the ceiling to finish the repair.
